Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Philadelphia Eagle

[SD]

Traded to the Texans for OG Kenyon Green and a pick swap our 6th for their 5th in 2026. Why gut our secondary. Sydney Brown blows. I know he has the tools but he's way too undisciplined and plays reckless

I farging hate this

A big part of this trade is giving former third-round pick Sydney Brown a chance to compete for a starting spot next to Reed Blankenship in the Eagles' defense. Brown was a third-round pick out of Illinois in 2023 but hasn't yet carved out a significant role on defense. He showed some promise as a rookie but tore his ACL in the regular season finale and missed the start of 2024 before bing buried on the depth chart.

In addition to Brown, the Eagles also still have Tristin McCollum and Lewis Cine on the roster. There are also several months before the opener, so it's possible the Eagles could add another safety.

And Blankenship, 26, is entering the final year of his contract. So an extension could be coming for the now-veteran starter.

Green, 23, was the No. 15 overall pick out of Texas A&M back in the 2022 draft but his NFL career hasn't gone to plan. After starting 14 games as a rookie, with plenty of struggles, Green missed the entire 2023 season with a shoulder injury.

In 2024, Green was benched in October. He ended up playing in 12 games with 9 starts. Last season, ProFootballFocus ranked him as the No. 76 best guard in the NFL out of 77 qualified players. Green gave up 47 pressures and 4 sacks last season. He appears to be another reclamation for highly regarded offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.

Green has played only left guard in the NFL and the Eagles have Pro Bowler Landon Dickerson at that spot. So perhaps we see him get some time at right guard, where there's an opening. The Eagles' 2024 starter, Mekhi Becton, is a free agent. The Eagles also have 2023 third-round pick Tyler Steen on the roster.

This one pisses me off

[Don Ho]

Sydney Brown?  Injured and hasn't shown anything special.

[Don Ho]

Strange all around.

[Rome]

They're sick of his shtein.  Pretty simple.

I don't like it, incidentally.  But the reasoning is clear. 

[MDS]

i was surprised by it, but i shouldnt be

hes a massive pain in the ass and it seems like a the players werent too find of him either. he did what he had to do - came in here, established an edge, burned some bridges and is off with j to houston where all rejects go

[General_Failure]

His six interceptions will be missed more than he will be.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He says he knew it was coming and no bad blood. He asked to be traded to a team that can win.

I can still be a CJ stan here

The more that comes out this was a cap move in preparation for extending players. Jurgens probably gets done soon. Carter is gonna break the bank next season. Howie tryin to keep the core players intact and trying to fill the rest of the roster out with young bucks. At some point I'll bet he goes dumpster diving for some depth pieces.

[MDS]

that myles garrett extension as carter's agent going like....yes

price on the brick means bye bye anyone who is not a perennial pro bowler
